:00:14. > :00:16.An internal investigation is underway at Harrogate Hospital

:00:30. > :00:33.It's just five days since the death of his mother Irene,
:00:34. > :00:37.and David Simister is at her flat to start sorting out her affairs.
:00:38. > :00:40.His grief is still very raw and it's compounded by the man
:00:41. > :00:44.of his mother's death at Harrogate Hospital.
:00:45. > :00:47.In her dying moments, a clinical bed manager insisted
:00:48. > :00:50.Irene was moved to make way for another patient.
:00:51. > :00:52.It was very upsetting because we had prepared ourselves for our lother
:00:53. > :00:56.to pass away in the room shd had been in for almost a week.
:00:57. > :01:00.She had cards from well-wishers there.
:01:01. > :01:04.She had flowers, and she had a photograph of her and my father
:01:05. > :01:06.on their wedding day on the table in front of her.
:01:07. > :01:10.In the melee that was to get her into this other room for her death,
:01:11. > :01:14.Some other stuff was left in the corridor.
:01:15. > :01:17.We were left with our mother dead in another room
:01:18. > :01:23.What was the reaction of the nurses when they werd told
:01:24. > :01:29.It was very clear that they were doing it under sufference.
:01:30. > :01:32.When my mother did die, the nurses were crying.
:01:33. > :01:34.These are nurses who see death on a daily basis
:01:35. > :01:39.But they weren't used to this particular death.
:01:40. > :01:41.Irene's family had been impressed by the care that hospital g`ve
:01:42. > :01:43.their mother until her last half-hour.
:01:44. > :01:46.But those highly emotional and precious final minutes
:01:47. > :01:51.are, for them, forever tainted by what happened.
:01:52. > :01:53.The hospital has apologised for moving her.
:01:54. > :02:13.I want to ensure that what happened to my mother and what myself
:02:14. > :02:16.and my family are experienchng does not happen to anybody else.
:02:17. > :02:28.End of life care which we dhdn't experience in the last moment
:02:29. > :02:36.For David, that means seeing protocols established to ensure
:02:37. > :02:38.dying patients aren't moved in future.
:02:39. > :02:43.So they're granted the dignhty of dying in peace.
:02:44. > :02:45.Well, Toby Scott is from the Dying Matters Coalition,
:02:46. > :02:48.a charity which aims to help people to become more comfortable
:02:49. > :02:55.How does he think the end of someone's life should be managed?
:02:56. > :02:58.The best way for someone's and of life care is for thel to get
:02:59. > :03:00.the care that they previously expressed a wish to receive.
:03:01. > :03:03.Or if they're still consciots, to get what they're asking
:03:04. > :03:11.What that means in practice is people looking for a space
:03:12. > :03:15.that's calm, that's comfort`ble that's not flustering for ehther
:03:16. > :03:16.the patient the individual concerned, or their family.
:03:17. > :03:19.Is that achievable in a hospital, or is it better
:03:20. > :03:25.You can receive excellent care in all places.
:03:26. > :03:27.Most of the time, hospitals are providing absolutely
:03:28. > :03:33.Even under the constraints that the NHS is operating under
:03:34. > :03:35.But within that average, there are examples of where the care
:03:36. > :03:39.dips below what you would w`nt and you don't get the end of life
:03:40. > :03:42.That concerns us as an organisation and I think it concerns
:03:43. > :03:46.We all of us deserve first-class end of life card.
:03:47. > :03:51.The challenge is making sure that it happens.
:03:52. > :03:55.You say that we know how to deliver it, but is there enough trahning
:03:56. > :03:57.for staff in hospitals on how to do the best practice?
:03:58. > :04:00.The interesting thing is that the front-line staff have
:04:01. > :04:03.usually got sufficient training and are doing an excellent job,
:04:04. > :04:11.A lot of the time it might be an issue for other members of staff.
:04:12. > :04:15.We are part of the group that is pushing what's calldd
:04:16. > :04:18.the ambitions framework and one of the parts of that is the phrase
:04:19. > :04:25.The idea is that anyone involved in end of life care is responsible
:04:26. > :04:27.for each individual's quality of end of life care.
:04:28. > :04:31.It might be someone who's got nothing to do with that indhvidual
:04:32. > :04:34.on a day-to-day basis, yet an action they take or fail
:04:35. > :04:37.to take might have a big impact on the care received.
:04:38. > :04:40.What should relatives look out for when it gets to this st`ge?
:04:41. > :04:42.Quite often it's a taboo subject, death in our country.
:04:43. > :04:45.But what should relatives ask for when a loved one is reaching
:04:46. > :04:52.A good early conversation with medical staff in terms
:04:53. > :04:55.of what care is being provided, what the signs might be.
:04:56. > :04:57.We published a resource on our website called
:04:58. > :05:00.What To Look For When Someone You Care For Is Dying.
:05:01. > :05:03.It talks you through the different physical changes you can expect
:05:04. > :05:07.Which can often be unsettling for the family.
:05:08. > :05:10.Most of the time, those physical changes and causing any discomfort.
:05:11. > :05:18.Talk to the doctors and nurses, have them explain what's happening
:05:19. > :05:20.so that you understand and the family understands
:05:21. > :05:22.and the person who is nearing the end of their life understands
:05:23. > :05:27.Very briefly, if there's ond thing that makes all the difference,
:05:28. > :05:32.The one thing we can do as individuals that make
:05:33. > :05:34.a difference is actually have conversations, think for ourselves,
:05:35. > :05:36.have conversations with the family about what care we
:05:37. > :05:40.Where would we like to be when we die.
:05:41. > :05:43.What would want to receive `nd what would we not want to receivd.
:05:44. > :05:45.If we've have those convers`tions and written those thoughts down it
:05:46. > :05:48.makes the whole process easher for everyone because then pdople
